BIO
The Bleak Engineers coldwave duo consists of Moralez and Zombierella (half of horror punk band Messer Chups). Both artists have been working on the music scene for more than twenty years. They debuted on Six Tonnes De Chair Records 5 years ago with a «New Frontiers» LP that mixed electronic sounds with live bass and guitar. An album followed on Mosaique Records in 2019, but one of their earliest tracks “Unconscious”, which was released along with a video, has remained unreleased. It’s the title of their second 12’’ LP that came out on Rotation Mécanique in 2021. 

Both albums have high ratings on discogs and are hard to get today on vinyl. They are in no hurry and have chosen the path of an independent vision of New Wave, DIY, Flexipop and 80’s minimal synths. Although synthesisers grew into great knob-covered beasts there are still plenty of bands like The Bleak Engineers that are thankfully in thrall to the early synth sounds. They have a new album «The Mystical Dream» coming out this autumn in November 2024.

About Mix: 
This mix is like a point of attraction for their musical desires and dreams brings together the unconscious, but very beautiful and expressive. Here music from different years and languages acquires an attractive meaning in an unobtrusive audio form. Enjoy!
